    I have a nano clone and have problem with gain/volume/level when I turn it on, volume decreases for about 20 percent. On several forums I read about internal trim pots, but I don’t know to use them.
    Please,help! Chorus sound is great but volume level is too low.

    The pedal also produces a fair amount of noise.

    Someone at another forum said that they eliminated the noise by performing the following modification:

    Quote:
    “Probably the easiest way to ground the circuit to the case is as follows:

    Remove knobs, nuts on the input and output jacks, and nuts holding the pots.
    Remove the circuit board and solder a jumper from the body of the volume pot
    to the sleeve (ground) connection on the input jack.

    When you reassemble the pedal, the body of the volume pot will be
    mechanically (and electrically) connected to the case. The jumper you
    installed will ground the circuit to the case.”

    I performed this modification today, and the pedal still hisses, still clicks when you turn it on, and still has a volume drop when you turn it on (though the volume drop may be more due to the loss of treble that occurs when you turn the pedal on). Hence, this modification does not fix the pedal.

    I have searched the internet all day, and cannot find any modifications that successfully fix the Nano Clone pedal.

    I cannot recommend that anyone keeps the Nano Clone. The pedal has too many problems to even bothering fixing at its price point.

    You might want to check out the normal small clone or the clone theory if you don’t like the way your nano clone is. The Clone Theory has a bit of a hiss, but it doesn’t drop volume and sounds very good.
